Well just finishing this up finally, and Im pretty pleased with it, and learned alot building it.
The blade is forged from 1/4'' x 2'' 5160, flat ground with a slight convex just at the edge. It has a hand rubbed finish, it was hand sanded to 800 grit, then all polishing pastes from there.
The handle is carved ebony and was hand rubbed to 800 grit, then buffed off.
The fittings are 304 stainless steel, and are all pined together into the handle. The detailed areas in the fittings are heat blackened.
O.A. is 13 3/8'', blade is about 8 1/4'' tip to guard, and 1 1/2'' wide.
$300 shipped
thanks for looking
